Supernus has made remarkable efforts to secure approval. They have conducted four phases III clinical studies involving thousands of patients. In November 2020, the FDA rejected Qelbree’s first FDA application, which caused SUPN share prices to plummet. A new application for the drug was filed in February 2021, as more research was required to prove it was safe. Eventually, the drug was approved by regulators, allowing Qelbree to begin commercializing the drug.
The SUPN stock is also investigating the treatment of adult patients with Qelbree in Phase III clinical trials. Preliminary test results are positive, and the SUPN stock plans to apply for FDA approval in late 2021.
